What filament is thicker a 60-W or a 100-W bulb of the same length?

I'm pretty sure the filament of a 60-W bulb is thicker, since there is less resistance through a thicker filament, so less light and heat would be generated.

What is the formula for calculating volume of Bulb in the pile foundation?
concrete qty for bulb portion in pile foundation
Is bulb a concrete noun?
Yes, the noun bulb is a concrete noun, a word for a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family from which a plant is grown; an object with a hollow rounded or teardrop shape such as a light bulb, the base of a thermometer; a baster, etc.; a word for a physical thing.
There are three bulbs of 600W 100W and 200W which bulb has thickest filament?
600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage
Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?
A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.
How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?
It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.
Is line spectrum obtained from filament of bulb?
filament of bulb
What is the difference between a filament of a bulb and an element of an electric heater?
The heater element is thicker wire, and has lower resistance. It still has enough resistance to glow red hot (producing heat) but does not glow white-hot and very brightly like a light bulb filament. Also, it lasts almost indeifnitely. whereas the light bulb filament has a finite life - it will "burn out" sooner or later.
Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament bulb?
Mains filament
What is filament in a bulb?
The filament is the small coil that glows when the bulb is on. I believe its made out of tungsten
How many lumens in a 100w light bulb?
1500
What is filament shaped into?
Bulb's filament are wounded into a coil.
Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament lamp?
Mains filament
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
If a light bulb is a hundred watts but puts out 23 watts can it be used in a smaller light fixture?
A 100W incandescent lightbulb is rated this way because it consumes 100W of power to produce a given amount of lumens. The wattage is a power number derived from the voltage supplied multiplied by the current that will flow through the filament. Consequently, the filament acts as a resistive component and will always draw the rated current when supplied with the rated voltage. Now, lets say you have a light bulb rated at 100W for 430V and you want to use it in a 110V 40W fixture. This would be an example of a 100W bulb drawing only 23W. Assuming the screw base is the same, there is no electrical reason it couldn't be used because the voltage rating of the bulb exceeds the supply and the current draw is lower than the maximum rating of the lamp. But what of fluorescents? This is a no go. You cannot run a 430V ballast on 110V and expect it to work correctly.
